Ouch!
Dehydration, poor warm up and stretch can all cause this injury.
I am assuming this is a grade 2 strain as a complete rupture is less painful as the muscle fibres are torn so no contraction on movement. A complete tear generally requires either surgery or a full cast with the foot in plantar flexion to allow the muscle to knit back together.
I tore mine after a 30 minute run, and full stretch. I went to knee a bag and the push off was too much and it literally popped! I was dehydrated apparently :/
You may want to get a referral to the orthotic dept to get a heel raise for your trainer, it really does ease the pain, when you start to walk with a heel strike (it hurts like hell)
Get it moving straight away, gentle stretches, try to get your foot flat on the floor, but do this within the the pain barrier.
The Gastroc is a well perfused muscle and the bodies natural healing process will have kicked in within a couple of hours.
The inflammatory phase:
Generally lasts 0-36 hours. Swelling is maximal. Immediate and frequent icing is essential. Ice massage is good! Icing stops pain messages from getting to the brain and the rebound effect after warming begins creates blood flow that promotes healing.
The proliferating phase:
Generally lasts two days to two weeks. New tissue, including scar tissue, is being laid down that needs to be re-modelled, this is why it is important to stretch and massage the scar tissue to prevent shortening or bulking.
The remodeling phase:
Generally last two to six weeks. An example of this phase is tendons being re-shaped. The aim is to prevent the cycle of re-injury that occurs if too much is attempted too soon.
It was 9 weeks before I could comfortably use my leg although, back training was different, skipping, burpees and box jumps were too much for the calf and the pain I felt was a warning to stop!
I had physio through work and was down to using 1 elbow crutch with 7 days.
Also they should measure your calf and give you a compression bandage to help disburse the fluid that's building up.
Good luck :)
